February in Mexico

At the end of February we met Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Andy, Aunt Melissa and cousin Lia in Mexico for a wonderful family vacation. The girls really liked seeing each other and sharing their stroller time together.

Both girls loved spending time in the nice warm weather. We made sure they didn't get burned by outfitting them with fashionable hats. Both girls were very cute in their hats.

Addy wasn't fond of the water at first but Lia loved it. Lia's love of the water helped convince Addy to get in. That and the use of Lia's floating intertube. Thank you Lia!




Once she got used to the water Addy loved floating with her Dada.






Lia and Uncle Andy had a lot of fun together.




When Addy was in or near the water she was always picking up leaves. She loved to collect as many leaves as she could.



Addy loved being in the warm Mexican weather where she could share her dada's love for nature.



Addy especially loved to watch the fish in the the pond near the buffet restaurant. As soon as she was done eating she wanted to get out of her chair to go by the railing and see the fish and turtles.




She also loved to stop and point to the fish when we were passing by in her stroller.



Melissa and Andy took Addy one time so Mama and Dada could have an evening out together. The first date night we have had since Addy was born.

Grandpa, Mama, Dada and Addy went on a tour to some Mayan ruins. Addy wanted nothing to do with the backpack we brought. I'm not sure if it was the heat or just because she is moving around more and doesn't want to be held down, but she was not happy. We sat on the grass under a tree and gave Addy her bottle which made her much happier.

We spent most of our time around the pool, but Addy was able to spend a little time on the beach as well.





Addy sat on the sand for a while and tried to stay out of the waves which she didn't like when they got her. She also found out that walking on sand is a bit different then walking on hard surfaces.







Look at our happy bathing beauty.

Addy wasn't happy to leave the warm weather, but she was interested in the packing process once we started it.



A week away from her car seat made her more interested in it.





Look Mama and Dada how well I can help with the packing.




One last view out of our patio before we go. We will miss the nice view and warm weather!
